The Dana side-story is absolutely ruining this already floundering season. The last time he told you the truth was when he said “Goodbye” before going off to war? WHERE HE WAS FUCKING TORTURED AND HELD CAPTIVE FOR EIGHT YEARS? But, wahhhh, I’m sad because my dad lied to me.

I really need an excellent, never-saw-that-coming payoff for the Dana storyline, because it’s ruining the show for me. Her relationship with Brody made her story bearable in S1 and 2, but without him she’s just a sullen teenage rebel.

This season has been terrible, just awful. However the reveal that this whole thing has been carrie and saul’s plan all along might save it a bit. Butttt, what sah67 said above is absolutely going to happen; they will come across each other in venezuela because they will, and people will hate it

I feel like I don’t totally buy the twist, but I certainly wasn’t buying her falling for the stuff the partner said. When he was saying what would happen I was just thinking but she knows this, why would she need him to articulate this? the twist that her and saul were working together doesn’t seem quite thought out because I can’t place when this would have happened. (Why make the phone calls to him? Why go to his house? Why cry while alone watching the tv?) and I always have problems when bad guys are suddenly magic. I get that weirdo guy works for a powerful firm, but that means he can just break into people’s houses now? Carrie needs a doorman stat. Didn’t Saul break in once too? get a dog already.

I think saul kept her in the nut house longer than carrie anticipated, or he couldn’t fight the other guy keeping her in there…however, remember when saul said to the new lady at the agency that he was working on something big and if it works out the way he thinks it could it could be huge? i believe that was in the season opener…this is what makes me think this has been the plan all along, to publicly out her in that way so she is approached by the enemy in some form

Also, bc Carrie was/is under constant surveillance from both sides (CIA, and Terrorists).
and as you can see with Brody just appearing in Venezuela, not everything substantial has to happen on camera with these writers

Right Saul said something like that to to quinn too, asking him to trust him. I still think it wasn’t the plan all along though because we saw her by herself watching the testimony and crying. I think it happened after the testimony but before she went to the paper.

Do the producers of this show realize that we’re watching this show because of the espionage, not because of the Carrie/Brody love story (which doesn’t really work) or Dana? Why on Earth are they spending so much time on her? I’m much more interested in what Saul, Dar Dal, Fara and Quinn are up to. Dana, not so much. Morgan Saylor is a good actress, but that character gets far too much screen time.
